Secured Promissory Note

 

On September 30, 2025, the Company executed a $600,000 short-term secured promissory note (the “Short-Term Note”). The Short-Term Note requires repayment of $630,000 on the maturity date of January 2, 2026. The Short- Term Note is secured by certain outstanding receivables of the Company. The lender of the Short-Term Note also received a warrant to purchase 10,000 shares of common stock at $11.25 for a period of four years. We computed the fair value of the warrant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model and the following inputs: stock price $2.90, expected term of 4 years, volatility 96.00%, risk-free rate of 3.68%, and dividend rate of 0.00%. The value of the warrant upon issuance was not significant. The outstanding principal balance and the accrued interest of $630,000 has been presented within current liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Short-Term note was repaid in its entirety upon maturity. 

 

Financing Liability

 

During the year ended December 31, 2025, we entered into a financing agreement to finance $265,505 of insurance premiums due on various policies. The financed amount is due in fixed monthly payments of $19,808 for a period of eleven months and bear interest at 9.85%. The balance of $159,342 remaining on this financing liability has been

presented within current liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

About Debt Disclosures

Debt disclosures detail a company's borrowing structure — the types of instruments, interest rates, maturity schedule, and covenant restrictions that define its financial obligations and flexibility. This section is essential for assessing refinancing risk, interest rate exposure, and the margin of safety against financial distress.

Key signals: the maturity schedule reveals concentration risk — large maturities within 1-2 years during tight credit markets can force dilutive refinancing or asset sales. Compare the fair value of debt against carrying amount to gauge whether the market views the company's credit risk differently than the balance sheet suggests. Watch covenant compliance disclosures for tightening cushions, especially leverage and interest coverage ratios. Variable-rate debt exposure quantifies sensitivity to interest rate changes. Secured versus unsecured mix affects recovery rates and future borrowing capacity. Compare net debt-to-EBITDA against industry peers and covenant limits to assess financial health.
